God's Israel holds the ancient feasts to this day, if you ever bothered to look some calendars.

But, of course, you only care about how the anti-Christian sect of Jews performed feasts after the destruction of the temple.

There were Jewish Christians who followed the Law and were Orthodox. Then there were neoplatonist fringe Jewish Christians who did a bunch of wacky stuff. And there were also Christians who joined in the versions of feasts practiced by the anti-Christian sect, and these were reprimanded.

Your understanding of Judaism is that Rabbinic Judaism is real Judaism and Christianity is some non-Jewish thing. Have you, then, never really read St. Paul? Romans 9?

Quote from: Orthonorm

if Christ does and says x. And someone else does and says not x and you are ever in doubt, follow Christ.

I just think it is ironic that God told us to pray in his name, yet we were never once taught what his name was.

Do you understand that doing something in somebody's name means something other than literally requiring you to utter the sounds of that name? Saying, 'Do X in the name of the Queen', for instance, does not require that I add 'Elizabeth II' to the end of my sentence. It doesn't even require that I actually know the name of the current queen. What it does say is that I am telling you to do it on her behalf - 'in her name'. Why do you seem to insist on taking the phrase so incredibly literally?

We owe greater gratitude to those who humble us, wrong us, and douse us with venom, than to those who nurse us with honour and sweet words, or feed us with tasty food and confections, for bile is the best medicine for our soul. - Elder Paisios of Mount Athos

Does anyone else find humor in that not a single Hebrew character has been posted on this thread?
